Re: Announcing the Roku Forums!

One option I've seen on other boards (not sure if the software we have
supports this or not) is the option to "subscribe" to a thread.  If there's
a thread that interests you, you click a link, and then you get an email
when the thread has a new message.  You still have to go to the web
interface to read the new message, but at least you get a little nudge to
remind you...

Would that work for you, Jay?
